Make your impact - opportunities at ActiveXchange

Now is your time to shine! Exciting opportunity for a talented and proven software developer to work across greenfield products, impacting the active and healthy lives of millions of people.

Our purpose: To shape a more informed, connected and therefore active community sport sector

Our goal: To positively influence the active and healthy lives of over 10 million people across Australia and New Zealand by 2023

Founded in July 2018, ActiveXchange is a fast-growth data and technology company based in Sydney (with satellite offices in Melbourne and New Zealand) providing market and business intelligence, managing data networks, and applying machine learning to underpin decision making that drives growth and impact across the Australian and New Zealand community sport, leisure, aquatic and fitness sector. This means more people are more active more often because delivery and investment decisions are more informed and coordinated. 

In 24-months ActiveXchange has established a sector-wide network and service using data on 3 million participants and members to support positive change, working with federal, state and local government, over 75 state and national sport organisations, and 350+ leisure, fitness and aquatic venues.
